Sorry, I think I wrote my first message poorly.
My problem is that when the user uploads the wrong mime-type CFFile spits
out an error.
Right Now, I am using CFTry to catch that error. However, this only works
after the file is uploaded because it is uploaded as a .tmp file. After
that, I can query the variable file.serverfile to see what the file was, I
would like to be able to validate it before the user uploads it to save the
transfer hassle of uploading a bad file.
I hope this makes this clearer, its still early here and I haven't finished
my first cup of go-go juice yet....
thanks again,
Ethan
